ELEVEN DAYS IN SWAMPs.
Railway Trains Passing Within a Few
Feet of the Helpless Sufferers.


Feet of the Helpless Sufferers.
HALIFAX, N. s., Oct. 5.-Thomas V.
Woolerich, formerly a prominent Halifax
merchant, started by train Sept "A last for
Mount Uniacke Station on the Windsor and
Annapolis railway. From that place he in
tended inspecting a farm at Lakelands, in
the interior. he insisted on going through
the woods, although warned not to do so.
Three men. had already made the expert
ment, and were never heard of after enter
ing the swampy woods. No one in the dis
trict would undertake to pilot
him, so he started alone car
rying an umbrella with him.
There are fouEmiles square of alder bushes,
swamps, and~ lakes Woolerich walked
through the swamps and around lakes until
he thought he ought to he near his destina-
ton. That night he slept on bushes, and
next day started on the tramp again He
walked around dozens of lakes and through
innumerable swamps There was not even
berry to be found with which to satisfy
the cravings of hunger. On the third day
his suiferings were terrible. He drank o
great deal of water and sustained life in this
wav for eleven DAYS.
For eight days he wandered around the
shores OF lakes and through swamps Day
after day he heard the trains pass up and
down the road, four miles away, and made
desperate efforts to reach the point without
success, until Saturday. the eighth day,
when, almost PROSTATE, his clothes torn off
his limbs, and feet swollen and bleeding, his
mouth and tongue liberated from the effect
of the spruce wood in the water, he at last
dragged himself to the railway track.
That night the express train passed and it
was dark and the passengers did not
hear his means. No train passed Sun
day. Monday half dozen trains passed
but no one saw the signals of distress he
made with the rags attached to his UNI
brella. The eleventh day he heard the
rumbling of a freight train. Making one
last supreme effort he waved his tatuered
flag and shouted. The conductor saw the
emaciated form. He stopped his train,
picked up the poor fellow and carried him
to his family at Halifax. He is now occa-
sionally able to speak in whispers, but it
will be days before he is able to relate in de-
tail his frightful experience in the swamps.

Downing Her Bridal Clothes
in Public.

A remarkably strange scene was enac-
ted at the depot opposite the broad guage
ticket window yesterday. A party Of
italians consisting Of four women, one
of whom was a pretty young lady Of
twenty years had come off the boat. It
was wedding party, or rather the dam
sci had come from the country to meet
her lover and be married. Dusty and
travel stained at she was she could not
possibly meet her intended husband.
Accordingly the party slipped out Of the
stream pouring from the ferry, and gath
ering against the bulk-head. the young
lady commenced to divest herself Of her
clothing. Regardless of the crowd
which soon collected, she proceeded to
trip herself until she was standing In q
state of eve-like simplicity. Then she
commenced to don her wedding trOus-
seau. This was soon accomplished, and
when the young lady found herself COM
pletely arrayed for her 'nuptials she
walked of with her party through the
laughing crowd, unmindful both Of the
laughter she excited, or that she had
done anything immOdest or indecent.
She was indeed an examplification OF
the saying. ''Where ignorance Is bliss,
It's folly to be wise."-San Francisco
Alta.

On Tuesday nothing was done in the
House except to have read the Presidents
message after which the body imme-
diately adjourned until Thursday. In

sident's message after which the Senate
adjourned.
The Democrats with very few excep-
tons are delighted with the message
which is devoted exclusively to the ques-
ton of tariff reform so as to render ac-
ton thereon imperative, while the Re-
publicans say that it will be the key
note OF the next Campaign and the death
of the Democratic party.
Speaker Carlisle says that he expects
to announce the Committees before the
Christmas holidays.
